Re: use of Priority vs Conformance Levels

IT probably could be an Action Item for someone to do #1 - and once we find 
out why they are changing, and if they intend to change all their 
documents,  then we can discuss if we want to do anything. And, 
unfortunately, I won't be around or have consistent email for the next 
week, so I think it better if some one else  pursues #1
